Inspiration <\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a visual tool for planning and developing ideas through the creation of concept maps. The map is easy to construct; information can be added by clicking on relevant branches and use of colour makes a distinction between different areas\/topics.\u00a0 In addition: notes, pictures, diagrams and links to internet resources can be built-in.\u00a0 Once the map is complete it can be put into linear form in preparation for structuring the assignment.<\/p>\n

It can be accessed by clicking on the start button and typing the word \u2018Inspiration\u2019 into the search box.<\/p>\n

This is software that reads text and assists when constructing or proof reading written work.\u00a0 It can read from most documents (Word, PDF, web pages), alternatively resources can be scanned in.\u00a0 There are features that help with spelling, grammar and study skills; also, predictive text or voice activation can be used.\u00a0 There are instruction video clips for each feature.<\/p>\n

It can be accessed by clicking on the start button and typing the word \u2018Read & Write\u2019 into the search box.<\/p>\n
